Hey everyone! I'm back again. Sorry for the wait, but real life's always barging in, y'know. Anyway, when we last left off, the boys vow to have Alivia relive the times she's lost while stuck in her child-like form, and hopefully get to the bottom of her trauma.
This is where we get to some real-life situations. If any of you aren't comfortable with the semi-dark details of her past, you can skip it. Like before, each suitor will have a POV version, so excuse the long narration.
Enjoy the meal!
>>>>>>>NEXT MORNING>>>>>>>
[6 am...]
"Fuwaa~ I'm starving."
Kirihara yawns as he and his roommates walk down the hallway, heading for the bistro.
"I'm surprised you got up this early."
"Come on Hiyoshi, cut me some slack."
"Slacking off is what you do most of the time."
"What is this—'Pick on Kirihara Day'?"
"At least we got a head start before the others could get first dibs."
"Oya..."
"What's up, Zaizen?"
"It's Tsuge-san."
They four see Alivia holding her toast-plushie on her lap while sleeping near the corner of the restaurant's entrance.
"A-Alivia-chan!"
"Mm...uh..."
They walks closer and Kirahara crouches down in front of her. Alivia's half-asleep eyes look up at him.
"What are you doing here? You should be with Fujiwara—"
SLUMP~
"Gah!"
The seaweed-head teen tenses up when the child hugs his neck. She nuzzles her face into his hair, not seeing him turn into a tomato.
"I'm hungry...but no one...in the kitchen."
"Is that why you stayed out here," Zaizen asks, "you were waiting for it to open?"
"Mm-hmm~..."
"Is she awake? I can't tell."
Kaidoh blinks when Alivia stares at him. Putting her hand out, she pats his cheek.
"You not mad anymore?"
"Eh...?"
"You got angry at...fuwaa...your friend, right? Please don't fight with friends."
"..."
"So she still remembers last night," Hiyoshi hums.
Feeling guilty, Kaidoh gently pets her head.
"I'm sorry I scared you, Alivia-chan. I promise I won't do it again."
A soft giggle escapes her sleepy smile.
"Oi, Kirihara...how long are you going to let her stand up half-asleep?"
"R-Right."
Kirihara carries her as they enter the bistro.
"Let's stay here and watch Alivia-chan until they come."
"Alright."
Kirihara puts Alivia between him and Hiyoshi on the couch while Kaidoh and Zaizen take the other one.
